Post Office
ABOUT THIS ATTRACTION
This is the first post office in Gunnison County, built in the early 1870s. This Post Office was designated in 1876. It was dismantled and reconstructed on the museum grounds in 1971. Alonzo Hartman was the first Postmaster. The dirt floor and sod roof were typical of the early log cabins. Its original location was on the Hartman Ranch south of Gunnison. This building was certainly as one of the earliest "pioneer" built structures on the Western Slope of Colorado!
